Today I suffered my first injury but I am not sure if it is related to my running. This morning when I sat down to breakfast I was fine but twenty minutes later when I stood up I had a pain in my back. The Catalans say “un mal geste”, literally a bad move. What the bad move was I have no idea. I lay down in bed for awhile in the hope that it was a temporary pain but that had no effect, my back still hurt. I went to work anyway where I managed to be more or less productive. Later in the morning, however, my neck started to hurt too. That worried me and I decided that it would be better if I stayed at home in the afternoon. Later in the day the pain lessened but I did not run as I had planned. Rest.
